This time again a box made with the scalloped tag topper punch. I still love to make boxes with it, and happy it stays. The front is covered with the nice DSP from the SAB period which I first brayered with wild wasabi ink. The petite petals are of course fun to use on it too.

Everywhere you see trees with blossom, very enjoyable to see and as I was taking pictures recently it gave me some inspiration to make a card with the sheltering tree set which let you make a card with a tree full of blossoms too. A nice spring card for somebody to cheer up.

This time a mini box, really mini only a small chocolate will fit. I made it with the envelop punch board and the trimmer and round punch. The musical notes is a template from AZZA, but paper and ink are from SU.

Sailing over the world, for some a dream ... With this theme in my head I made this card with the World map and the Open Sea set, two sets which will still be there in the future catalogue. So many more cards to follow.

Yesterday I needed a card for somebody with a red car turning 65. I got the idea to make a route 66 card. I used the big world map stamp of SU which is not retiring luckily. The other stamps are from another brand as I did not have a car in my SU collection. A simple card for a birthday.

We all need birthday cards, I have a few friends who are having their birthday this month so I needed to make some. This time I played again with bordering blooms set which I coloured with the markers, the text is from the Wetlands set. The butterflies is coloured in two colours too so it would fit. In total I only used three colours: Tangelo Twist, Wild Wasabi and Chocolate chips.

Yes, the painted petals set is cute to use, especially on the mini cards from SU and in combination with the perfectly penned text set, althought this is retired. I used the same colours as the Get well card, just used the other colour and made a birthday card out of it.

Yesterday I had a kind of birthday workshop with two creative ladies. Both made three cards they could put in a special folded box. They both worked with the same sets but their cards look differently. The colours are very nice and they chose everything themselves. During the colouring it was really silent here in house. I loved the morning and know I will repeat this kind of workshops.

Once and awhile I love it to make boxes, either small or width, depending on what I need. Looking on pinterest, facebook one always finds something that suits very well. Although you should start with smooth cardstock and not DSP like I did. But I love the challenge and did it in the crisp cantaloupe colour which is soon gone. And some purple flowers on top of it. So you see here a triangular box I found on youtube.

Yes, I love to do a lot of things in duplo or more, this time with the bird I coloured it twice and I find it always challenging to see how I can make a different card out of it. This time another direction and with some branches behind it in a brown shade.

Today Marianne surprises us with a card in brown shades. She worked with the petite petals, serene silhouettes and the Papillon which is still very favorite. The text is from a SAB set. She made a really nice card with all these elements.

Simple is beautiful, you all know my style by now. I love Less is More, simple cards. This time I present you two cards made the same way but just different in the direction I stamped. I worked with the bordering blooms set in garden green, then I put some little flowers made with the itty bitty accents punches in melon mambo and a little pearl as heart of the flower. The butterfly is from an older set and of course I made it real with some antenna. I am sure I will make more of these.

Today I worked with the bird from the free set you could get during the SAB period. I experimented with the Chameleon markers (not SU) not that easy to work with it, I still need to practise. For the rest I kept the card simple so it could be used for a man. Just added a ribbon and used deco labels.

Today I present you two cards made by my downlines, they both worked with the Mixed bunch and they show us how different a card can look like. Desiree worked in blue and put one flower in the center but cut it apart again and put it together later on. Marianne worked in purple colours and put the flower in the center too but added some butterflies. Both cards are elegant.

Recently I saw a nice project at the blog of Anja Basteleien, she made a piece of pie from paper. Claudia loves to bake so our talking about pies made her make a real one with orange glaze, some sprinkles and some butterflies who remind me of SU. I decided to make the paper one, it turned out to be a lemon-raspberry one. As paper I used Daffodil delight and a piece of DSP for the top and the sides. A flower made with the Flowershop and Petite petals on top, the leaves are from a borrowed set from Claudia, from another brand. It is not that tasty as hers but has less calories.

This time a double banner I made as thank you for our Demo Support who is always there when we have questions. Of course I used the banner dies and used my favorite stamp set the painted petals from the spring catalogue. Colours? Rich Razzleberry and Wild wasabi and yellow for the ribbon to keep the two pieces together. I stamped two different flowers on the outside and on the inside I just did one side so I could write some personal words on the other half.

This time a few bookmarks, althought the stamp is not from SU all the rest is, I coloured with the markers and used aquarel papier, I love to do this, it is so relaxing. With the punch I made a label out of it so it can be a little bookmark, a little gift for a lover of reading.

Someone who loves flowers and plants would surely love to receive this birthday card. I used baked brown sugar cardstock, the painted petals and the text inside is from a SAB set and on the front of course one of my favorite labels. A ribbon keeps the card closed.

This time an explosion box with a baby bed made by Claudia. Recently she made a frame for baby Nora, now this cute little one inspired her to make a pink explosion box. Each side is covered with a lot of details and you see the love for this baby. She added the date, a carycot, a stork, nice labels and even the bed has some extra accents. Isn't this nice to receive?

Today it is the birthday of a friend. And yes that asks for a card. This time one a bit the same as the thank you card I placed recently. Again with the painted petals and the nice design paper and in addition some little butterflies. I used the same colour scheme but just a bit different.

Yesterday I showed you an easel card with the set Your perfect day and the itty bitty accents punch. Today I used the same colours but made a wedding card with a special folding. Inside I used the bordering blooms. So you see even with the same colours, each time a different card is made.

Yesterday it was still cold outside, so I stayed inside and was reading a bit, playing guitar and making a simple easel card. I used my favorite colour combo Pear Pizzazz and Melon Mambo. I love that cheerful pink. I used my newest stamp sets the Round arrays for the little textes and the leaves are from the set Your perfect day. The flowers are of course made with the itty bitty accents punch.

This week in the weekly deals we see the square dies and the gift punch board. I wanted to make something with them. I saw it somewhere on internet and made some boxes with it. The big box is done with the gift punch board. The lids are made with the square dies. For the big box I used some daubers and the mask hearts & stars to put the nice melon mambo stars on the paper and for the smaller box I used the SAB design paper and the brayer to colour that paper. I love both boxes, both are made with love for simple presents.

With these cheerful easter egg boxes I want to say Happy Easter to you all. Enjoy the extra free time, searching easter eggs with your children or grand children. Hopefully the weather will be good. I kept the boxes pretty simple, only added a butterfly made with the flowershop stamp set and the little flower on front is from the petite petals set and the leaves from the bird punch.

Today I show you two mini cards, only 10 by 10 centimeter. I stamped on crumb cake with cholate chips colour and gave some extra accents by using the chalk marker. An ideal way to bring on some colour, at least white on the card. I love it.

Today no project of me but from Claudia who made a frame for her colleague who got a baby girl with the name Nora. Claudia chose to make a frame with the name in nice paper, of course a lot of little banners on top and the Zoo babies in cheerful colours on the bottom. A very nice gift.

With this card I want to thank on an electronical way all my customers and people who follow the blog. We need you all. We also need inspiration and we get it from you all. Surprising combinations we never would chose, open our eyes and give us the kick to try it ourself with of course a twist to it. The above card is made with the painted petals, a beautiful stamp set where everybody can be an artist, as the flowers look like painted. The small piece is from the Spring Design paper. The colours I used: Wild Wasabi, Rich Razzleberry.

Recently I made some flowers with the Petal Potpourri for the Ladies Night by the Breast cancer foundation where we presented our foundation Stichting Het Steunpunt. Our ladies from the cooking workshop had prepared some little sweet tastings of berries, nuts, chocolate and on that table we of course put some hortensias and cute little boxes made with the Envelop punch board filled with easter eggs. At the end of the evening almost everything was gone.
